Kursk Update: Russia Digs Fortifications Near Nuclear Power Plant, Ukraine Enters Makhnovka
Video Summary
Ukraine’s special military operation in K has made significant progress, with recent updates revealing interesting developments. Excavators have been deployed to hastily dig trenches near a nuclear power plant, likely to prepare for Russian defensive positions. Russians believe they are involved alongside Ukrainian forces, possibly referring to the Freedom for Russia Legion or NATO. However, Ukraine’s end goal is unclear. If they control the E38 road, it would cut off key settlements from K and likely be captured by Ukraine.
Ukraine has captured a T-72B3 tank, which once belonged to Russia’s Airborne forces, adding to their arsenal. A strike on a claimed Ukrainian position in a forest was successfully executed, and a new command post for the 22nd Mechanized Brigade was targeted, but may have been missed by Russian forces.
In the last 24 hours, Ukraine’s territorial advances have been reported, with entry into settlements like Mnova, Snag, and Plova, and partial control over 450-500 square kilometers. The Ukrainian presence in the region is increasing, with Russia attempting to stabilize the front lines. Ukraine has also successfully mined a major road, cutting off reinforcements to the suja area, and gained control over the forested area south of Coronova.
